This Game Is Too Realistic

The air inside the laboratory is very dry, which is completely different from the damp and cold cave outside.

Obviously, Dr. Qiu Shiye considered the ventilation issue, which also relieved those who were worried about the leakage of the reactor fuel tank.

Helium itself has strong penetrability, so it has strict requirements on the storage environment.

Not to mention the gaps visible to the naked eye, even seamless glass and ceramics may show through.

Normally, these nuclear fuels are stored in high-density alloy containers at low temperatures.

"It's really hard for that guy to hide the reactor so deeply..." Jiang Xuezhou couldn't help but complained in a low voice.

Searching the corridor of the laboratory with a flashlight, Ye Shi said casually.

"But from another perspective, if there was no experimental facility and the fuel tank was left outside in the forest, I'm afraid we wouldn't have to put in the effort to find it."

"Are you deliberately looking for trouble..."

"How come?"

Already imagining the red monkey's butt face, Ye Shi whistled teasingly, and then returned his attention to the underground research facility in front of him.

It can be seen from the traces of artificial excavation that Dr. Qiu Shiye really put a lot of effort into this laboratory.

That was probably not long after the Day of Judgment in the early Awakening Era. At that time, he had not yet written that poem on the bridge of the Gemini.

Ye Shi tried to bring in Dr. Qiu's perspective.

The researcher's mood at that time was probably the same as when he discovered his own "Tunnan". His heart was full of surprises, complacency, and even excitement and madness.

It's not hard to imagine.

After all, not long ago, standing on the shoulders of the People's Federation, he had just discovered the secret that the People's Federation had never discovered despite all its efforts -

The existence called the "Tree of Insof" is closer to the secret essence of this planet than Gaia!

And, that pioneer has a history far older than human beings, and seems to have glimpsed the "essence of the world"!

This laboratory should be regarded as the beginning of his challenge to the fourth wall.

And when he realized that he was insignificant and carved that poem on the wall, it was already the end of his life.

"There are two sets of radiation protection suits and an extravehicular mobility exoskeleton in the vertical cabinet at the entrance of the laboratory. They should have been collected from the Gemini."

After checking the structure of the buffer cabin at the entrance of the laboratory, Ye Shi then looked around and briefly reported on the communication channel.

"There are various indications that Dr. Qiu Shiye has lived here for about fifteen years. Counting the time he lived with the indigenous people before, he is probably about 60 years old..."

If you live to 60 years old with zero medical conditions, you can't say whether this counts as longevity.

An urging voice came from the communication channel.

"Don't worry about this for now, let's quickly find the [reactor] fuel tank."

"Take it, I'm looking for it."

After a while of the night, we explored deeper into the laboratory along the long and narrow corridor.

Without spending too much time, with the help of Jiang Xuezhou's drone, he quickly found the reactor core along the wiring structure in the laboratory.

It was a cylindrical tank, about the thickness of four or five people hugging each other, with densely packed pipes wrapped around it, connecting electrical components removed from the starship.

It was as abstract as it could be, so much so that the fusion reactor almost lost its appeal in Ye Shi's mind.

However, now is obviously not the time to consider whether or not to be strong or not.

The moment the flashlight shone on the reactor, excited voices suddenly came from the communication channel.

"I found it! It's the thing stuck on the round can!"

"Is that what you're talking about?"

Ye Shi looked along the light blue beam projected by the drone and found a handle protruding outward in the middle of the huge round tank.

The handle is connected to a metal disc the size of a basketball, embedded in the center of the reactor tank, and seems to be an energy supply component.

Ye Shi reached out and grasped the handle, trying to pull it out from the reactor, but found that the entire outer shell of the energy supply component had rusted to death on the reactor structure.

"Let me help you!"

At the same time as he said this, Jiang Xuezhou's control drone had already flown next to the reactor, and two mechanical cantilevers shaped like switch blades eagerly popped out from under the body.

"Buzz——"

The light blue plasma plume ejected from the end of the mechanical cantilever, like a hot knife, easily inserted into the rusty gap, and circled along the connection between the can-shaped reactor and the energy supply component. lock up.

With a clear "click" sound, Ye Shi felt the resistance in his hand suddenly decrease.

Amidst the grinding sound of metal, he finally successfully pulled the energy supply component out of the tank.

However, when Ye Shi saw the full picture of the energy supply component, his originally excited mood suddenly sank to the bottom.

I saw a hole as big as a fist printed in the center of the gas tank!

The strong tank body seemed to have been hit by a cannon, pierced through the middle!

No wonder he can't pull it out!

"Good guy... the air is leaking!?" Seeing the reality that the man could not accept, Ye Shi swallowed hard.

At the same time, Xiao Jiang's desperate voice came from the communication channel.

"How could this happen...Isn't it better to plug it into the reactor? What on earth penetrated it?!"

That is their family's only hope.

Without the fuel that can open the hyperspace channel, they can only spend the rest of their lives in this world outside the five lights...

"Don't despair yet, there might be some spare fuel here... At least now I know what this gas tank looks like."

Looking at the empty can in his hand, Ye Shi was also panicked, but he still took the time to comfort Jiang Xuezhou, and then continued to search nearby.

Hard work pays off.

After searching for a while in the experiment, he actually found an identical gas tank under a folding bed!

"There's another one here!" Ye Shi shouted in surprise, and then he overturned the folding bed with both hands and took out the gas tank underneath.

I don’t know what Dr. Qiu Shiye was thinking, but he actually used this precious nuclear fuel as a bed and a stool.

Is this guy planning to use this method to awaken his spiritual energy?

But would it be too stable to use helium-3 as a radioactive source...

Looking at the gas tank in Ye Shi's hand and sitting on the bridge of the synchronous orbit, Jiang Xuezhou's eyes rekindled a glimmer of hope.

The drone flew next to Ye Shi, and the light blue scanning beam was quickly projected onto the tank from the transmitter under the body's camera.

Overcoming his fluctuating emotions, Jiang Xuezhou took a deep breath and said.

"Tank integrity...100%."

"Fuel remaining..."

"0."

"Gan!" Hearing the last "0", Ye Shi almost choked on his spit, but still asked unwillingly, "Could it be that the test was wrong?"

Jiang Xuezhou: "It's impossible...liquid helium composed of helium three is lighter than helium four. If you don't believe it, weigh it yourself."

Ye Shi fell silent.

Mainly because he doesn't know how to do this.

After a while, a soft sigh came from the communication channel.

"...Actually, it's obvious. If there was still fuel left, how could Dr. Qiu Shiye just throw it under the bed board like trash?"

This time the voice coming from the communication channel was calmer than before.

There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart.

Although Jiang Xuezhou admitted that he was a little excited when he first saw the gas tank, but the facts proved that it was just an unrealistic fantasy.

After a pause for a few seconds, Jiang Xuezhou suddenly changed into a relieved tone.

"Well, actually, if you think about it... it would be nice to spend the rest of my life on this planet with you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We just made an appointment to go to the edge of the universe to have a look." Ye Shi couldn't help but complain.

Why did this guy suddenly use the tone of the finale?

He hasn't given up treatment yet.

"Haha...yeah, what a pity."

Ye Shi could feel a little loneliness in that relieved voice.

It could be seen that she was really interested in the proposal she made, not just to cooperate with him.

Thinking about this, Ye Ju's lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile.

"My gut tells me our story doesn't end there."

Jiang Xuezhou teased.

"Oh? Can the spirit tell you?"

"Just take it as such."

Ye Shi smiled mysteriously, and then cast his confident gaze around.

It actually had nothing to do with psychic energy. It was just his keen perception that gave him a strong sense of violation and caught his attention.

The laboratory, which is not spacious, was pitch black, with the only light sources coming from the flashlight in his hand and the drone beside him.

But——

Even though it was so dark here that he couldn't see his fingers, it was as clear as day in his mind.

He remembered everything he saw from the moment he entered the laboratory, and sorted out every clue.

And those clues that he had ignored became completely clear at this moment.

"There are two triangular hangers on the standing cabinet at the door, corresponding to only two sets of protective clothing. Both sets of protective clothing are in the cabinet, which means he did not leave."

"..."

There was silence in the communication channel, only the sound of rustling electricity.

Obviously, Jiang Xuezhou didn't understand what he was saying, and it took him a long time before he answered the question.

"...You want to say that he is still in the laboratory?"

Ye Shi analyzed it calmly.

"The accurate statement is that Dr. Qiu Shiye spent his last moments in this world in the laboratory."

Jiang Xuezhou sighed and said.

"I think it's a bit far-fetched to make such an inference just because two protective suits are in the closet. What if he just didn't wear a chemical protective suit?"

It is true that his remains were not found in the ruins of the Gemini, but that doesn't mean anything. He could still have died anywhere in this forest and valley.

Besides——

What's the point of knowing where the guy died?

The key is nuclear fuel.

That's what they really need.

Ye Shi smiled faintly and continued.

"If he is going out, he will definitely wear it... As for why, you will know why I said this as long as you come and see it on the ground."

The local indigenous records about the ancestor Yichi seem to be inseparable from "power armor".

In fact, if you think about it carefully, what those indigenous people are looking at may not necessarily be "power armor", but it may also be a combination of exoskeleton + protective clothing.

But one thing is beyond doubt.

That is, all the "ancestors" rarely show their true colors to others. Whenever they go out, they will always wear clothes or armor that cover their whole body.

As for the reason, it’s actually very simple…

"This forest is full of all kinds of poisonous insects. Didn't we see them when we first landed?"

Jiang Xuezhou was stunned.

"Ah...but isn't it hot to wear such a thick protective suit?"

Ye Shi smiled slightly and said.

"The protective clothing comes with a cooling and ventilation module. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is better than being bitten or even killed by poisonous insects."

The local indigenous people may not be affected by poisonous insects. After all, they may have become accustomed to it after living here for so many years.

But for the crew of the Gemini from Earth, those poisonous insects are annoying enough even if they are not deadly.

"...But even if we know this clue, what does it do to us?" Jiang Xuezhou muttered softly.

Ye Shi glanced around the dark surroundings and continued in a gentle tone.

"How come there is no 㳎? This 䜭伭 is a great clue."

"We have conclusive evidence to prove that Dr. Qiu Shiye spent the last moments of his life in the laboratory, but his body could not be found in the laboratory."

"Then the question comes..."

"Where did he go?"

The air was dead silent.

After quite a while, a sound of swallowing saliva came from the communication channel.

"What you said...why do I feel so cold on my back?"

"You feel like a hammer in the sky."

Ye Shi complained angrily, and then turned to the desk and whiteboard beside him.

There were some calculation formulas written on the whiteboard that had been scrawled and revised, probably a casual draft written by Dr. Qiu Shiye.

He couldn't understand what those formulas meant, but he just took a picture with the battle recorder and used it to cast his gaze on the pile of papers on the table.

Due to the baptism of time, those papers have turned yellow.

But even so, Ye Shi could barely see clearly the notes on the remaining pages of incomplete paper.

He completely immersed his attention in the incomplete clues.

And at this moment, the ability given to him by spiritual energy once again created a miracle.

In the void that could not be penetrated by sight, Dr. Qiu Shiye seemed to come to life, stood beside him, and picked up the dust-covered pen...

That face was full of piety.

Even after hundreds of years, Ye Shi could still clearly see that face.

In the blink of an eye, he sat at the table and wrote in his meticulous experimental notes.

"They all say I'm crazy...but I think they are really crazy. We have never been so close to the door to the truth, and someone has even found it for us!"

"All we have to do is open the box that's been opened once... I've even found it, and it's right under our feet!"

He kept mumbling.

Ye Shi, who was standing behind him, kept repeating his murmur.

Jiang Xuezhou, who was watching from the sidelines, was confused.

As the operator of the drone, she couldn't see what Ye Shi saw.

The picture in her eyes was completely different. Ye Shi, who was standing in the drone lens, seemed to be crazy, mumbling to a few incomplete pieces of paper.

"What did you say?"

"I remember what he said in the note..."

Ye Shi replied casually, and then continued to concentrate on the experimental notes on the table, while the virtual image that spanned time sitting in front of him continued to write furiously.

That is not the mental state of a loser, but more like a seeker who has reached the end of the maze.

It was completely different from what he imagined!

After discovering "him" and realizing that he was just a mural on the wall, Dr. Qiu Shiye did not give up. Instead, he devoted himself even more selflessly to the unfinished business!

Even though he was aware at this moment, what was behind the fourth wall was not what he imagined.

Even if he has realized that even if he meets the Creator, it does not mean that he can become the Creator...

Ye Shi suddenly thought of Dora, the temple maid of the Duoma tribe.

At this moment, he finally fully understood Dr. Qiu Shiye's mental state.

If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!

He finally broke out of the mural that trapped him, for the sake of the clouds in the sky!

"I did it! I found it! Hahaha..." The old man in front of the desk suddenly laughed out loud, and then stood up from the experimental table in high spirits.

He was as excited as a child, humming a tune and touching the side of the reactor in the laboratory.

It was a reactor pieced together from materials dismantled from his starship, and it was not just a reactor.

Ye Shi imitated his movements, even his frown and smile, even the tuneless ditty.

As if he was also crazy, he returned to the reactor and inserted the exhausted gas tank into the cylindrical metal tank.

"Click——"

There was a slight sound, and the gas tank was tightly sewn together with the patchwork reactor.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Xuezhou asked nervously, looking at Ye Shi who was obsessed with fire.

Ye Shi didn't answer, he just reached out and operated the instrument panel on the side of the metal tank, as if someone somewhere told him what to do.

Finally returning the last button, he took a deep breath to remove the power armor, and stepped on the cold rocky ground with his feet.

"We all understood it wrong... Dr. Qiu Shiye's research does not end here."

"What are you talking about? Why can't I... understand it more and more?" Jiang Xuezhou's confused voice came from the communication channel.

Ye Shi knew very well that when she was confused, her confusion was actually what Dr. Qiu Shiye encountered in the early days of his research, and it was also a confusion that normal people would have.

Maybe it wouldn't be so hard to understand if she had also awakened her psychic powers.

"...This reactor is not used to maintain power in the laboratory, or more than that."

"Then what is it?!" Jiang Xuezhou asked incomprehensibly.

Yakuza said with a confident and speechless tone.

"It's a miracle."

Jiang Xuezhou stared at the screen blankly.

"Strange, miracle?"

Ye Shi nodded.

"This is a... perforator. It is a miracle created by 'mortals' through the will of 'gods' and the gods. It can travel through the void and through the 'window of vision', or the 'fourth wall' ”

Jiang Xuezhou's mind went blank, and he froze in front of the holographic screen as if he was in a daze.

"Breaking...the fourth wall?!"

Ye Shi nodded slightly, with a meaningful and complicated expression on his face.

"His kindness to this world made Him finally choose to take him away, just like we took Dora away. Regardless of whether that is what she wants from the bottom of her heart, we have to give her a chance to choose... I think, He The echo in this universe thinks so too.”

The information that can be exchanged by psychic energy must be mutually recognized by both parties.

At this moment, he finally truly understood the words He left behind——

"It's not like you have no merits or demerits."

While talking, Ye Shi removed the nuclear battery of the power armor and guided the nuclear battery held by his fingertips to release a terrifying current.

The scorching energy formed a crackling arc in the air, and the dazzling light made it impossible to look at it.

Although this energy is only a drop in the bucket compared to the energy required to open a hyperspace channel, it is enough to drive this "mini-level" perforator!

All he needs is a hole the size of a hair, and he doesn't want to destroy the star.

The restless static electricity made every hair and sweat on his body float.

The drone floating aside lost control and fell to the ground, and intermittent exclamations came from the communication channel.

"What...are you...doing?!"

Guiding the terrifying electric current to penetrate back into the reactor, Ye Juku said in a gentle tone.

"I'll show you..."

"This perforator can not only fold the mass and energy in this universe into the light of another universe, but also unfold the light from another universe into energy or mass... just like unpacking a folded paper airplane. ,"

He wasn't kidding.

Under his guidance, this punch machine built a century ago has been successfully activated, and smoothly, a small hole was drilled out of the absolutely unbreakable fourth wall, allowing people from another universe to Light came through.

If you look at another universe, it is just a tiny beam of light that cannot even be captured by the naked eye, and cannot even illuminate a speck of dust.

However, when it fell into this universe, the dust-like light turned into a giant in an instant, and released terrifying energy that was enough to burn the entire planet!

Fortunately, there was a suitable container waiting quietly where it fell.

The "battery" that was plugged into the reactor and could never be recharged was actually fully charged in an instant...

The shining light gradually went out.

The drone that had lost control and fell to the ground floated up again, flying unsteadily in front of the reactor.

The light blue scanning beam once again illuminated the metal shell of the gas tank.

But this time, Jiang Xuezhou was completely shocked.

"Helium 3...how...is this done?!"

Helium-4 combines with protons from nowhere and becomes helium-3 again...

How the hell is this possible? !

Her head felt like she had been hit by a stick, and she was stunned on the spot, opening and closing her mouth unable to say a word.

The entropy of the universe decreased, from disorder to order, and physics disappeared in front of her again...

Maybe it's not enough to have a diplomat with psychic powers. They have to go to Earth and kidnap a few physicists on board.

Listening to the muttering on the other end of the communication channel, Ye Shi gently pulled out the fully charged gas tank from the "Visual Perforator".

"In short, we have the fuel to go home...and in theory, we can get as much as we need. The only risk is that frequently borrowing energy from another world may attract things stuck on the wall, so it's better to have less."㳎 is good.”

Exactly how Dr. Qiu Shiye completed this device remains a mystery.

Even with His help, it would be surprising enough to be able to do such a thing.

After a pause, Ye Shi continued.

"As for how to do this... I think this topic may take us a century to study."
